“11. As regards internal administration of Egypt, His Majesty’s
Government will view with favour creation of a Parliament with right
to control the policy and administration of a constitutionally
responsible Government.
“ 12. I propose to abolish regime of martial law as set up by
proclamation of 2nd November, 15)14, so soon as necessary Egyptian
act of indemnity shall have been promulgated with application to all
inhabitants of Egypt. In the event of its being found impossible to
put such an act in force before it is desired to hold the parliamentary
elections, 1 shall be prepared, pending repeal of above-mentioned
proclamation, to suspend application of martial law in respect of all
matters affecting free exercise of political rights of Egyptians.
13. As soon as this new state of affairs has been established His
Majesty’s Government will examine in concert with Egyptian Govern
ment, and in most friendly spirit, the conclusion of an agreement on
following points which will remain for settlement: —
“ (a.) Security of communications of British Empire.
(/>.) Defence of Egypt against all foreign aggression or inter
ference, direct or indirect.
“ (c.) Protection of foreign interests in Egypt and protection of
minorities.
(d.) The Soudan.
“ 14. It is now for Egypt to respond, and it is to be hoped she will
justly appreciate good intentions of Great Britain and that reflection
and not passion will guide her attitude.”

NO effort will be spared to obtain a prompt decision on the issues
raised in your telegrams of the 12th instant. You will understand,
however, that an immediate reply on so great a question cannot he
sent in the absence of the Prime Minister and Lord Gurzon at Cannes.
About this item
- Content
The file contains correspondence, memoranda, minutes, and other papers concerning the political situation in Egypt and negotiations between the British Government and an Egyptian delegation for the end of the British Protectorate in Egypt. The papers cover the effort to come to an agreement on future relations between the two parties following negotiations in the summer of 1921 and up until Britain's unilateral declaration of the end of the protectorate in February 1922.
The majority of the memoranda is written by Foreign Office officials, including the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Lord Curzon. Records of meetings of the Cabinet and a sub-committee on the Egyptian situation, and of a few high-level gatherings at 10 Downing Street, make up a substantial part of the file. There is also a large amount of correspondence between Curzon and Field Marshal Edmund Henry Hynman Allenby, High Commissioner of Egypt, on the question of Egyptian independence and events in Egypt. Other papers include printed collections relating to the Egyptian situation that were presented to Parliament.
At the back of the file is a chronological summary and a résumé of events in Egypt since the publication of the report of the Milner Mission to Egypt (folios 238-260).
